Chapter 12: A New Neighbor
On the way, he met Chu Lihong and took the firewood from him.
Chu Lihong didn't want Chu Yuqin to do this rough work.
In his opinion, his sister is like a fairy, with white skin, tender palms, and fragrant body.
Although she is not dressed in excellent clothes like before, such an older sister is unique in the whole village.
He didn't want to ruin his sister's beauty and make her as vulgar as the women in the village.
So when Chu Yuqin stretched out his hand, he refused to take a few steps back.
Chu Yuqin didn't know what he meant, relying on his age and height to take advantage of his height, he snatched the firewood directly from him.
"You accompany Yulan and the butterfly to the mountain, you and Yulan collect firewood, and I will come up and bring the firewood down later."
"It's a man's business." Chu Lihong protested unhappily.
"Flutter!"
Chu Yuqin laughed very shamelessly.
Man......
How old is this little kid, and he actually calls himself a 'man'.
Chu Lihong was annoyed and angry, glaring at Chu Yuqin.
"Sister!"
Chu Yuqin hurriedly restrained the smile on his face and nodded very seriously: "I know that you are a man, so I gave you such a difficult task." ”
Chu Lihong looked at her with suspicious eyes, and his expression seemed to say: You treat me as a child!
Chu Yuqin looked at him very seriously: "The mountain is dangerous, if the two little girls want to go up the mountain, they must be accompanied by a man to make people feel at ease." My sister is also a weak woman, so she can't let me do such a dangerous thing. ”
"That's not good, sister, go back quickly! I'm going to protect them. ”
Chu Yuqin took away the firewood.
On the way back, thinking of the lovely Chu Lihong, his face was full of smiles.
Her smile was particularly soft, not as sharp as usual.
The morning sun shone down on her face, as if she had stepped out of a painting.
Ling Shengyi stood in front of the courtyard gate, looking at the girl who came from the opposite side, and felt that way in his heart.
Every time he saw this girl, he would feel differently.
She is like an old book, she doesn't know what it means after reading it once, but she can find a new understanding after reading it a second time, and then she can find a new understanding a second time, and a third time, a fourth time...... Every time I read it, I always feel different.
Chu Yuqin noticed that someone was looking at him and looked up.
A young *** in Tsing Yi was in front of the door, with packed luggage at his feet.
Chu Yuqin glanced at the house next to the man.
If I am not mistaken, the owner of this house made a lot of money because of his business, so he took the whole family away.
This is the best tiled house in the village, and the space inside is also very large, and the yard is also very spacious.
"Ling Gongzi."
"Miss Chu."
"Why is Ling Gongzi here?"
"The private school was not built so quickly, and the village chief said that he would lend me this place to live first, and then move in after the private school was built."
"Are you waiting for the village chief to bring the key?"
"Yes."
"The village chief's house is not far from here, so I think I will be able to bring it over soon. I won't bother you, farewell. ”
"Miss Chu walks slowly."
After Chu Yuqin put the firewood back in the kitchen, he walked up the mountain with the rope.
When he passed in front of Ling Shengyi's door, he found that the courtyard door had been opened, and the sound of the village chief and Ling Shengyi talking came from inside.
Ling Shengyi's residence was not far from their home, with a vacant lot in between, and there were no other residents.
After all, the thatched house that Chu Dashan got is a bit old, it is simply called a dilapidated house, and it is far away from the entrance of the village, who wants to live in such a far place?
Now that Ling Shengyi has moved over, it must become a very lively place in the future.
Whether it is those young girls, or long-tongued women who like to break their mouths, and villagers who want to befriend Ling Shengyi in advance and make friendships for their children, this will inevitably become a place they often step into.
"Little brother, don't do it, go back first."
Seeing Chu Lihong, Chu Yuqin commanded.
Chu Lihong was puzzled: "Why? It's too dangerous in the mountains, and I'm going to stay and protect you! ”
"That Ling Gongzi has arrived, and now he lives in the tiled house next door to us. You go and make a familiar face, help him sweep the yard or something. ”
Chu Lihong was a little uncomfortable: "No need, right?" Even if you want to study with him in the future, it will be a bondage, do you need to slap him like this? ”
"It's not about stammering, it's about building a good relationship first." Chu Yuqin touched Chu Lihong's hair, "Listen to my sister?" ”
"Listen."
"Then go and help."
"But ......"
"Don't be, if it weren't for the fact that my sister is a woman, men and women can't stand it, and I've already gone to help in person. Or do you want your sister to come over and help? Chu Yuqin stared at him.
"Don't." Chu Lihong picked up a bundle of firewood and stood up, "Then I'll go." ”
"Go ahead! Don't waste time here. ”
Chu Butterfly asked Chu Yulan next to her: "Do you want to send Brother Lihong to study?" ”
Chu Yulan squatted on the ground digging wild vegetables, of course she didn't want to eat wild vegetables, this was dug for Chu Butterfly.
"Yes! My sister said that only when my brother is out of the woods, our family will not be looked down upon. ”
"That's good." Chu Butterfly was envious, "If only I had such a good sister." ”
But not only does she not have a sister, but even her mother is also a stepmother. Grandma is dear, but not as good as step-grandma.
Daddy resented her because of her mother's affairs, not to mention helping her speak, it would be good if he didn't beat her to death.
When will such days come to an end?
Separated from the Chu butterfly, the firewood of the Chu sisters was almost picked up.
When the two came back with firewood on their backs, they passed by Ling Shengyi's door and saw Chu Lihong weeding.
Ling Shengyi jerkily imitated Chu Lihong's movements, and by looking at his appearance, he knew that he had never done this kind of work. However, he looked extremely serious, as if he was working on a very complex subject.
Chu Dashan and the Yu clan had smelled the smell of meat from afar.
"Child, I am suddenly very glad that the Zheng family drove the eldest girl back. As soon as the big girl came back, we lived a human life. ”
"Yes! There is hope for such a day. ”
"It's just that this girl is really pampered, she only ate meat yesterday, and she cooked meat today. Although I bought a lot of it, I should save it. ”
"Although the child is a maid in the Zheng family, his food and clothing are no worse than that of the young lady outside the staff. She just came back and is not used to it, so let's teach her slowly in the future. ”
Chu Yulan was drying her clothes like a little butterfly, and when she saw Chu Dashan and Yu coming back, she smiled sweetly.
"Dad, mother, you're back."
"Huh." Chu Dashan responded.
"What's your sister doing again?" Yu smiled.
"It's a secret, you'll find out later." Chu Yulan's smile was cheerful and sunny, and she was like two people before.
"Where's your brother? The sun is so big, why hasn't it come back yet? ”
"Brother is helping out at Ling Gongzi's house!" Chu Yulan said.
"Young Master Ling?" Yu and Chu Dashan were surprised.
Chu Dashan asked again: "Is it the Ling Gongzi you mentioned?" ”
"It should be him." Yu nodded.
"I didn't expect to come, Ling Gongzi is a noble person in our family, and Lihong will have to study with him in the future, so he should help."
